Use our free templates to build out your HR process in Excel or Google Sheets, no account or credit card required.
For a small business, one bad hire is expensive and one missed follow-up can cost you a good candidate. This all-in-one file takes a role from posting through the first week: track every applicant through the pipeline, define the role clearly with a reusable job description, and hand new hires a working-with-me guide so expectations are clear from day one.
Strong teams don't happen by accident, they need a little structure. This toolkit gives you a lunch picker and a set of meeting icebreakers so bringing the team together doesn't take hours of prep every time.
Even a 5-person team benefits from a clear picture of who reports to whom. This template makes it easy to build, and just as easy to update as your team changes, without hiring a designer.
Reviews only work when they're consistent and fair. This template gives you a repeatable structure so every employee is evaluated against the same criteria, not whatever comes to mind that week.
When performance slips, a documented plan protects both the employee and the business, and gives someone an actual path to turn things around instead of a vague warning.
Turnover and burnout rarely show up out of nowhere, there are usually warning signs first. This dashboard rolls up the numbers that actually predict team health so you can catch problems before someone quits.
